Bleeding after taking Canesten for thrush Posted: 01-06-08 07:58am
I suffered from thrush during Christmas
week - (I had my first sexual intercourse
in 6 months just 10 days prior and I've
noticed before that sex after a long dry
spell kicks off an attack of thrush) - as
I couldn't get to my Doctor I bought 3
Canesten Combi packs to get me through
Christmas. All my symptoms subsided
except for a very mild burning sensation
which would come and go, and then a couple
of days after taking the third dose, I was
passing a very bright red blood which
looked very watered down. It was a
different coloured blood to spotting or
menstrual blood. I was worried and
straight after new year went to my GP and
repeated exactly what I've said here. He
did not examine me but instead prescribed
10x the normal dose of Canesten by way of
pessary. I asked would this not
antagonise the situation with the bleeding
if I've had a bad reaction to the Canesten
- he said no it wouldn't and although it
didn't make a lot of sense to me I took
his advice and used the 10x dose. Two
days later and the blood has appeared
again. The burning is gone until the
blood leaks out and then it starts to burn
a little again.
I have read a whole load of stuff on the
internet which associates abnormal vaginal
bleeding with cancer and it flips me out.
But the thing is, I never had any blood
before I used the Canesten. And I don't
feel able to resume sexual intercourse the
way things are.
Has anyone experienced the same? What did
you do to remedy? Will it just pass? My
Dr said if it hangs around then I will
need to go back for an internal
examination but my period is due this week
so I will have to wait probably another 10
days before the mesntrual blood has
completely disappeared.
I'm very anxious about all this. Does
someone have any advice for me? Thanks
for listening!

I would go back to the doctor. And even go
back to another doctor if this guy doesn't
do an exam. I'm not thinking cancer, but
it seems that something is wrong!

yes, one may bleed from CANESTEN MAE DAISY Posted: 08-29-08 11:06am
Dear mae daisy, exactly the phneomen you
described I just experienced now, when is
the first time I take Canesten. That
doctor of yours maybe sued for malpraxis
since, in a Canadian site, I learned on
that to women with bleeding one must not
reccomend this medicine. He should have
known better,
GIRLS, first have confidence in your
instincts and THEN before taking any such
medicine, search on the internet.
